VoIP Monitoring Concepts
Introduction
Cisco Agent Desktop software products for United Contact Center Enterprise and 
Express have the ability to live-monitor and record calls between contact center 
agents and customers. 
To implement these live monitoring and recording features, knowledge of computer 
networks, the protocols that carry data over a network, and the hardware components 
that make up the network is required.
The configuration of various network components can be complex. Misconfiguration 
will lead to the feature failing to work properly. This white paper is intended to take the 
mystery out of capturing IP phone calls using Cisco Agent Desktop software. It will 
explain the methodology used to capture voice streams, limitations of the technology, 
and challenges to deploying and maintaining systems supporting this feature.
The information contained in this white paper does not require any specific 
networking knowledge or software development expertise. The reader should be 
somewhat familiar with computers, applications/programs, and networks.
